LET Day 4: Abeline to Dallas

Whoof. Funny thing about road trips; you blink and you're in Ohio. Almost literally, in this case.

But, I shall backtrack. Saturday (Day 4) we got up and made the short drive to Dallas (relatively) in record time, and then spent the day with Stef's friends from high school, who were lovely lovely people. C. is our age, and just acquired her master's in architecture and has a good job with a promising firm; M. is our age, has a husband and two-year-old son, and is also a trained glasses technician, which meant that we spent an hour and a half hanging around a LensMasters, trying on glasses, learning what works and what doesn't with our faces. I found a new pair of frames that I fell in LOVE with.

Dinner at TGIF. Dallas suburbia at its best. And then we went On The Town. Got liquor minutes before the drive-thru liquor place closed; went to a bar called the Slip Inn and a club called the Lizard Lounge and HOLY CRAP did we not get a lot of sleep.
